"DOES THE BIBLE TEACH THAT CHRISTIANS ARE INCAPABLE OF COMMITTING SIN?"
September 11, 2026

The key to understanding this text lies in the meaning of the word “seed.” There is an assurance that this “seed” will provide total victory over sin. Who is this “seed” whose presence in our lives can guarantee the strength to obey? We find the answer in Revelation 12:17: “The dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest her [seed], who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”

The seed of the woman was the male child of verse 5, “who was to rule all nations” and “was caught up unto God.” Christ is this seed! You find the same teaching in the apostle Paul’s writings when he says of Abraham, “And to your Seed, who is Christ” (Galatians 3:16).

Now we can better catch the beautiful truth in 1 John 3:9. Those who are truly born of God do not willfully sin, because Christ is enthroned in their hearts. The only way they can choose to sin is by separating from Jesus. In other words, the abiding presence of Christ and the willful commission of sin cannot happen simultaneously in the same heart at the same time. Deliberate sin always separates us from Christ, and the Holy Spirit does not become a minister of sin. On the other hand, those who are genuinely converted and have the indwelling of the Spirit will be able to overcome sin in all its forms.

This text does not mean that Christians are incapable of committing wrong acts; rather, their love for Christ keeps them from walking contrary to His will. The word “sin” here is in a Greek form that indicates a continuing process. In other words, even if they stumble into a sin, they will not continue such a course; rather, they will sincerely repent and turn from any willful violation of God’s revealed will.

Key Bible Text:
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (1 John 3:9 KJV)

"WHICH DAY IS THE LORD'S?"
September 2, 2026

Did you know that every day, around 15 million people celebrate their birthday? More people have birthdays in August than any other month (about nine percent), followed by July and September. The month with the least birthdays is February. More people are born on Tuesday than any other day, and the day of the week with the least birthdays is Sunday.

Each week, everyone is called to celebrate the birthday of the creation of our world. God said, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God” (Exodus 20:8–10). This is God’s day, set apart by Him to remind us that He is our Creator. Yet humans have attempted to change that day.

Many believe that John was speaking of Sunday when he stated that he was “in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day” (Revelation 1:10). But the Sabbath commandment clearly designates “the seventh day” as God’s day, not the first day of the week. The Lord called the Sabbath “My holy day” (Isaiah 58:13) and Jesus spoke of Himself as “Lord of the Sabbath” (Mark 2:28).

The disciples honored the seventh day at Jesus’ death when preparing His body for burial (Luke 23:56). They resumed their work “on the first day of the week” (Luke 24:1).

The apostles worshiped on the seventh day as well. When Paul traveled, he attended the synagogue on Sabbath (Acts 13:14). But what did Paul do if there was no synagogue to attend? “On the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there” (Acts 16:13).

There is not even one Bible verse that commands us to worship on any other day of the week than the seventh day. Only Sabbath is called blessed and holy in Scripture. No teaching in the New Testament indicates that it was ever changed.

"CAN A PERSON FIND FAVOR WITH GOD BY LIVING BIBLICALLY BUT NOT GOING TO CHURCH?"
—Daily Devotion—
August 26, 2026

< First, it’s important to note that there will be many people in heaven who were not affiliated with a church, either because they did not have that opportunity or another reason that prevents them from the privilege. But one of the most important principles of Christianity is that we are saved into the body of Christ, which is another name for the church. When you are baptized, you become part of Christ’s body.

So I would ask in return: Why would a person say he loves God and His truth, but does not wish to fellowship with His people? That’s one reason God wants us in church—because it has people with similar beliefs. It helps bolster our faith and makes us accountable. It is also an excellent environment in which to increase our capacity to love one another. People learn their most important lessons of love in the context of their biological families. Church families follow the same dynamic—especially with new believers.

If a person says, “I believe in God and want to be saved and baptized, but I don’t want to go to church,” it sounds to me like a man saying to his bride, “I love you, I want to marry you—but I don’t want to live with you.” It’s saying you want the benefits of marriage but not the relationship that goes with it. Part of the Christian experience is having a relationship within the fellowship of believers.

I lived as a hermit once—up in a cave and away from society. In that kind of solitude, you have a tendency to become eccentric. Isolating oneself from society begins to affect your mind; your brain sort of atrophies. You become socially inept. In the same way, it’s important for Christians to be social with fellow believers in corporate worship to avoid becoming spiritually inept. It’s God’s gift—so I encourage each Christian to find a biblical church in which they can grow into mature members of God’s family.

Key Bible Text:
Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. (Acts 2:47 KJV)

"WHERE IS THE LINE BETWEEN PERSISTING IN PRAYER AND VAIN REPETITION?"
August 24, 2026

Prayer is not for informing God; rather, it draws us up to God. The Lord wants us to pray to Him for our benefit, and not because He wouldn’t know what’s going on if we didn’t pray. It binds us to God. He knows what you need even before you ask, so the Lord lays certain burdens on our heart, and as long as those burdens are there, we should keep praying for them.

The heathen would utter the same prayer several times in one sitting. That’s not prayer. Prayer is the intelligent cry of your heart to the heart of God. Prayer elevates you. When you pray, you should think about the prayer and what you’re saying really means.

The Greek word for “vain repetitions” is only found in this one place in the New Testament. It means “to babble” and to “rattle off without giving much thought to what is being said.” Is this how Jesus wants us to pray? What follows in verses 9–13 is a simple example of how we might pray. But it’s not intended to be a magic formula that will do wonders if we vainly repeat it.

There are some Christian denominations that tell people that when they sin, they should say a certain prayer over and over again in order to right the wrong they did. That’s not biblical.

Then you’ve got people like Elijah who knelt down and, seven times, asked God to send the rain. I don’t think he prayed the exact same prayer seven times. Rather, seven different times he pled with the Lord to fulfill His Word and send the rain. People who have children wandering from God pray for their salvation every day. That’s not praying in vain repetition. You can be sure that Jesus prayed for the disciples every day (John 17).

Key Bible Text:
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. (Matthew 6:7 KJV)
